How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

@kgp - I recommend that you add, as the first step of the post install procedure, enable Remote Management and Remote Login in Preferences -> Sharing.

You should be able to fix this without resorting to a reinstall.
Please paste which SMBIOS (eg iMac17,1 MacPro6,1 iMac14,2) you are using.
Please paste your current boot args - all of them.
Did you enable SSH access while the system was still working?

Does the boot arg nv_disable=1 prevent the reboot (note that it doesn't fix the problem - just stops it rebooting).

My SMBIOS is Imac17,1
Current Boot args: -v npci=0x2000 nvda_drv=1 -lilubeta
Does SSH means Super Speed Harddrive?

I can try to install the web drive again to test nv_disabe=1 works or not. But it seems I tried at the very first time and it didn't work.

Best regards,

Method A should work for you.
SSH is Secure SHell. If you don't know what it is you probably haven't enabled it.

I would wager you didn't boot with SIP enabled before attempting to install the Nvidia WebDriver.
How comfortable are you with performing tasks in the terminal? If you are OK there I can give generic instructions here. Otherwise PM would be better to avoid spamming others, as all the information needed is already in this thread.

It now keep repeating gIOScreenLockState(Those 2 lines) after I added nv_disable=1

That's good to me as I really tried method A many times. I tried the Rt Variables and set CsrActiveConfig to 0x0 is that correct? If that doesn't work please let me know. I'm OK with the commands in terminal. Thanks again!

Yep - thats ok. Your sig says you have a MacBookPro.
Can you SSH to the hackintosh? Do you know its IP? If so SSH to it and follow the steps to remove the Nvidia driver here.

 

[gonghaobaogang]

Yep - thats ok. Do you have another computer with MacOS or Linux on it?

Yes I'm using my 2013 MBP to read all the information and learn from you

OK this is a new thread as I deleted driver in Recovery Mode as always. Let me try and I'll reply to you later
